S EVERAL of our most popular girls
have been missed the past week
from the social affairs on ac
count of some slight illness, and each
day their friends have inquired
eagerly as to when they will come
back to till their usual places in the
whirling, rushing, social life again.
Miss Elizabeth Morgan has been suf
fering with a sprained ankle and all
will be pleased to know that now she
is a great deal better.
Miss Penelope Clarke had an un
ruly ankle, which turned suddenly
one day and has caused her much
pain, but she persisted in the new idea
that exercise helps such a wrench, so
she was not kept away from the af
fairs for long. Miss Emma Lowry
Freeman has had an attack of acute
appendicitis and probably an opera
tion will be found necessary.
Miss Margaret Hawkins was unable
to be an bridesmaid at the Jackson-
Alsop wedding Friday evening be
cause of a bone felon on her hand.
She is “cooped up” at the'hospital for
the rest cure. ~
Mrs. Laurie Anderson went to Sa
vannah several weks ago for a visit
and contracted that fever so preva
lent there now and considered quite
